Quinn the Fox: Dew Point
"Typhoon Days" was going to be the third release from the meteorological inspired "Headwinds" collection. Whereas previous mini-releases have been inspired by England’s famously cold and wet weather, "Typhoon Days" would have seen Quinn the Fox heading to warmer climes with a new collection inspired by tropical storms. As usual, the collection would have focused on things to do indoors.
Consisting of notebooks, pens and other stationery, the colours for the collection was inspired by humidity: from the almost unbearable feeling of closeness in the air just before a thunderstorm to the refreshing relief that comes as the first cool drop of rain hits your skin. "Dew Point" (pictured above) was one of our first illustrations to explore this concept and sees Quinn the Fox falling through the sky in to a new mysterious tropical archipelago.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to cancel this collection. True to the "Headwinds" name, we were encumbered at every step of the way; from manufacturers who didn't quality check their own goods to a manufacturer who turned out to be scammers (a story for another day). While Quinn the Fox has always advocated for battling against adversity, unfortunately the headwinds blowing against us this time were too great even for us to overcome.
Nil desperandum (do not despair) has always been our unofficial mantra since the inception of Quinn the Fox and we will pick ourselves up, dusts ourselves off and try again. For now, "Typhoon Days" unfortunately will remain a castle in the sky while we work on other things but we hope you'll be able to see the collection one day.
